[1000mp] Why?? (60m)

[Deon Erwin]

Yaesu usually markets a new radio with a host of optional extras and then
later upgrades it to a D-model with some of those extras built in.

The FT-857D has 60m+DSP, but only the FT-897D has 60m+DSP+TCXO.
The TCXO remains optional on the FT-857D.

If the FT-857D is stable enough to operate on 60m without a TCXO, then I
cannot see why the FT-1000MP requires a TCXO.  Surely, the FT-1000MP is at
least as stable as the TCXO-less FT-857D?

Didn't Yaesu add the TCXO to radios designated as "D" models? Recall that
all the new radios with 60 meters included now have the suffix "D" as part
of their model name.
